Yah, i tried the Ninja throwing thing, it was kinda fun with the Boomer, but she did a lot more damage with the multi-shot xbows, even considering the thrown crits.
Monk with a 2-shot sling and good rocks kicks plenty butt, and using 2 handfulls of shuriken (or darts, daggers, etc.) built up the skill nicely.
For magic to be really effective later in the game, you gotta pump Int to get Powercast, which i did a couple times with a Samurai, but i've found that they do more damage with all combat if you raise their Str, Dex and Sen. I sell Bloodlust as soon as i get to Bushido, and they do better with bows than with magic. With a starting Int of 55, and the 5 from the fountain, they're fine for all the buffs they get, so i usually leave Int alone and go for the combat.
